American Idol: Crushing Dreams One Week at a Time...

Well, the top three has been reduced to the final two... Danny was not so lucky this week, as he saw the end of the road. This was a bit surprising, as a large number of you had him going all the way. Next week will be very interesting - will Kris be able to pull off the upset, or will the rocker be able push through to become the next American Idol? We'll see you here next week for the riveting conclusion to this year's season of American Idol!

Full results here, and this week's summary:

Rock Week Says Farewell to Rock Chick...

Wow... So as I've said before, this week season is full of surprises! Rock Chick goes home on rock week... unbelievable! I have no doubt that there will be more surprises in store this season, so hold on to your seats! The battle for the top spots has been fierce, and with a good number of people seeing Danny or Adam through to the final, that final 5 points will become crucial... But don't forget last year, when nobody guessed the correct American Idol... This year, nobody guessed Kris; could he come through this year? I really doubt it, but considering this season so far, nothing would surprise me now!

See you all next week when we determine our final two!

Weekly Update, Two Weeks in the Making...

Well, it's been a while... sorry about that. A lot has happened since the last update, though. We have had 3 contestants go home, and Adam has found himself in the bottom three... something tells me this will stay interesting for the next 3 weeks!

Saying goodbye to Lil and Anoop presented some problems with the matrix, since it was determined that the only fair way for everyone was to have the double elimination go home in the order that would help each of you the most. Interestingly enough, everyone (except 1) benefited more from having Anoop go first, followed by Lil. David Denton had Anoop going home last week, though, so he got an extra point for Lil then Anoop. The current matrix reflects this, although it really happens behind the scenes...

Moving on... this week, we said goodbye to Matt... which I don't think came as a total surprise. However, I think everyone was surprised to see Adam in the bottom three this week. It may be a good thing for the Adam fans, though, as now people will be more motivated to place their votes. It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out!

Below are the current standings:Just remember, getting the correct Idol at the end is worth 5 points, so even if you are a few points back now, if you guessed the idol correctly, you could be pushed to the front of the pack! The scores are very close this year so the next 3 eliminations will be critical! Do take note that Tiffany got another elimination correct. Amazing! Check the full matrix here.

Stay tuned, and we'll see you next week!
